It seems I’ve been experiencing strange consequences of giving up on my MVP renewal, which is that I now don’t need to worry about sticking to some (real or imaginary) rules, I don’t even need to write anything here, but, somehow, that together just unlocks some of the topics I probably did not dare to… Read More »
It’s been there forever – you raise an error from the plugin, and you get Business Process Error popup in the UI.

There are two different onLoad events in the client-side XRM framework, and I did not know that… Well, it’s better to find it out late than never 😊 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/executioncontext/geteventsource Here is how it works: Actually, I used to think OnLoad does what OnDataLoad do.

The application does not have to be overly complicated, but it has to provide such functionality as: – Ability to see active requests – Ability to see new comments and to reply to them –… Read More »
It seems I still can’t quite get over those Power Automate licensing updates – new questions keep coming up, we keep digging, and that brings some new revelations. Well, today’s topic is multiplexing. First off all, “multiplexing” is not a bad word 😉 Here is how Microsoft defines it in the Client Access License (CAL) Requirements: “Multiplexing” is when individuals… Read More »
The technique for adding alternating colors to a Canvas App gallery has been described in various posts, here is one of those: http://powerapps.co.nz/auckland/index.php/our-blog/41-add-alternating-row-colours-to-power-apps-gallery We just need to add a new column to the data source, which is going to store the sequential row number, and, once we have it, we can use it to calculate… Read More »
ITA Business Rules Admin v1.01 has been released, and it comes with some cool features: 1. You can now register your rules to run in Pre-Validation, in Pre-Operation, or in Post-Operation Why is this important? Those stages correspond to the plugin execution stages, and, depending on what happens behind the scene, Post-Operation data may be… Read More »
These are not the same business rules you are used to in Dataverse – these are relying on the plugins and FetchXML, so, technically, there is nothing new since we’ve been using plugins forever.
